Sorry to hear the firm is on the slab guys, a bad time for all. The handful of crew who recently didn't have their contracts renewed must be counting mixed blessings but ultimately, even the pundits had GS on the cards as the next post XL failure. Irrespective of Mr Niceguys' comment on management, this was a text book, mismanaged airline from the start. The debacle over lost ETOPS, poor comms with crews, false promises and MOD contracts all bake an inedible cake. If it wasn't for the resolve of crew, some of whom placed their heads on the block, just to keep the firm flying, the outfit would have gone belly up in 2007. As always, its the coal face that gets shafted and undoubtedly, Mr D will pad his nest to fight another day. Best of luck guys (n gals).
